Here's the Spnanish sentence where I find a question: El metabolismo es diferente en cada persona y de él depende nuestra capacidad de perder peso.

What is the "de" coming before él? What does it mean, or what role does it have there?

This is simply another word order available and less boring than the traditional word order, which would be:

El metabolismo es diferente en cada persona y nuestra capacidad de perder peso depende de él (metabolismo).
